Episode How Fly Tying Makes You A Better Angler | Ep. 163
Is fly tying worth the cost and the hassle? Sure, you can tie up specific, custom flies, but wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy flies instead? Well, maybe, but we shouldn't really worry about economics here, because if fly fishing were based on good financial decisions, none of us would be doing it.
Instead, you shoudl think about the on-the-water benefits you'll get from tying your own flies. You WILL become a better angler by tying. The question utlimately comes down to how much you want to improve. This week on Untangled, you'll learn how and why fly tying can improve your skills.
You'll also learn about:
• How to tell if a new fly rod is the right one for you • The different characertistics to look for when buying fly rods • The value of swinging flies at the end of your drift, and the role soft hackles have in fly fishing • Why Spencer never uses split shot on dry-dropper rigs, and avoids it as much as possible anywhere else
